Whether venomous or not, Snakes are human Arch-enemies!
Our fear of snakes is beyond imagination, it is hot wired, programmed from inception. Scientifically; Snakes and Spiders the most shivers down our spines.
But there is more to the fear and enmity between snakes and humans than just "evolutionary default programming". Spiritually speaking; It was ordained since the beginning of time when the serpent made Eve eat the forbidden fruit!
Culled From the Holy Bible, here is the curse/spell on the Snake:
And i will put enmity between you and the woman; and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise you on the head and you shall bruise him on the heel...Genesis 3:15(Bible Hub)

"Her seeds" here, means us humans. So putting all scientific and evolutionary enmity aside, there was a curse placed on our slithering-scaly crawling friend or foe! Which arguably explains the fierce hatred between man and snakes.
Let's look at the havoc that had been rendered on people annually, US Statistics of victims of this arch adversary in the Illustration below:
My close Encounter with Snake Bite:
Not all snake bites will kill you, but a snake bite is a snake bite and trust me; they are very nasty stings. I have seen many snake attacks, i have rescued a boy back in my high school days. After rushing him to a near by clinic in Offa Kwara State Nigeria, where the anti-venom was not available until after several hours.
How the boy, Kenny by name survived remained a mystery to me, all-in-all; the lad was given an anti-venom injection about 5 hours or there about after the snake bite.
Shout out to @papa-peppers for his close Encounters with several Snakes
This ancient enemies with fork tongues can be extremely irritating when you have contact with their body. Kudos to our very own dear @papa-pepper for his close encounter series, Only a human with huge guts could hold different varities of snakes without "COWARD-ING!"

Very informative bro. A gush of fear runs through my spine with just hearing the word "snake". I abhor that creature,everything about snake is scary.
Hahaha, that was the Decree from The day the serpent make man disobey God.....
I don't see the decree working on people like @papapepper
😀😁
i dont get???
@papapepper likes snakes and the decree is for man to hate snakes.
hahahahahhaa, pops peppers sure will not let snakes near the @littlepeppers hence he hates them......winks
Well I think snakes like every other animal is just about survival on the food chain, defend your territory or anything you feel is a threat to your life and well being..
Cheers @oluwoleolaide
Nah, A Bunny and a Snake can't be compared.
There is a fundamental Rivalry and Hostility btw man and Snake, if it does not strike; Man will always not want a snake around and therefore killed it...
